The next few years will be the tipping point as America starts to take serious actions to protect our environment by using alternative fuels in cars.

Alternative fuels have been used throughout history by notable engineers like Henry Ford, who ran one of his first cars using the hemp plant (commonly known today as ethanol). However, gasoline became the number one fuel choice because it was the easiest commodity to obtain and had a low selling price.

The fight over safer fuels that can help keep our environment clean has creased the lines of newspapers throughout the country, as President Obama and Congress work to set the standards for the future.
